Gift Guide: Girls Ages 3-5

Updated: 8/11/22

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

Having just had a girl just in this stage, I had so much fun putting together these ideas! Every gift on this gift guide for 3-5 year-old girls is something we used ourselves or came highly recommended from a friend. You might also want to check out the Boys Ages 3-5 Gift Guide for ideas. Many on both lists are gender-neutral.

Make sure to browse around our other Gift Guides!

See Them All

Knowledge Crates – Knowledge Crates are seasonal boxes packed full of activities ranging from art and literacy to science and math (the fall one had 22 activities and 15 extension activities!). All the activities are planned and prepped for you with materials included. Just open the box and dive right in! Use coupon code THRIVINGHOME to get a 15% discount off a quarterly or annual subscription.

Leap Frog Scoop and Learn Ice Cream Cart – Our preschool had a similar set, and the kids all gravitated towards it. It was adorable to watch their imaginations at work as they played ice cream shop. This set also teaches counting, colors, and sequencing . Rated a “must have” with great reviews.

SHOP NOW

Melissa & Doug Let’s Play House – Preschoolers LOVE this set. Dust, sweep and mop…when it’s clean up time this is one toy you will be glad to have around. They are wood and built to last too.

SHOP NOW

Baby Alive Baby Doll – Watch the magic happen as this baby doll eats, wets and needs to be changed. The blender actually works too! Don’t forget the extra diapers! Shop all the Baby Alive dolls here.

SHOP NOW

Personalized Books – I got a similar one of these a few years ago and it continues to be a favorite. They are super creative, well illustrated, and are personalized all throughout the book which impressed me. This book focuses on kindness and being a positive change. There are lots of different books with different story lines…check them all out here.

Kinetic Sand – A childhood must! I’d recommending splurging and getting the 11-pound bag. You can also get smaller portions. Tip: Get all the same color. They get all mixed together eventually!

White Paper Rolls – This seems so simple but I have found that my daughter LOVES having these around to use for art.  Spread them out on the table to color on during dinner time. They can also be used on a play table for easy clean up. Pair this with Crayola Ultra Clean Washable Markers for a great gift.

Warmies – I know, I know. NO MORE STUFFED ANIMALS. However, these are different. They’re microwavable and have a lavender scent for a soothing warm cuddle AND they’re at an awesome price point. They have a million animals to choose from – see them all here.

    So many good ideas! I’m excited to get the umbrellas for my littles! They want to play with our adult ones all the time. I think they will be so excited to have character ones.

    From the list for Girls 3-5, I’d choose the Teaching Cash Register (because I would have loved one when I was 4. Haha)
